Leading university reform129For universities to effectively address contemporary global issues, it is vital that they adapt and evolve to keep pace with the rapidly changing global society. To promote innovative reform among Japan’s national universities and elevate the standards of its higher education, Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) launched the Designated National University (DNU) program. The program differs from more conventional government-led reforms in that it facilitates the revision of key regulations, allowing universities greater control in proactively designing their own institutional approaches and strategies.Selected as one of three institutions for the launch of the program, Kyoto University’s DNU initiatives are organized into four pillars, each of which complements the others. The reforms are anticipated to inspire institutions throughout Japan, and spearhead a new era for its national universities.
